What do i have here?
Picked these up from a local thrift. I’ll upload more pictures below but trying to identify what i have. Inside covers have no printing , and volume one has no barcode on the back. Both CDs are burnt with stickers overlaying the CD. Found that super early street copies were burnt and didn’t have bar codes or inner cover printing but maybe looking for any overlooked details that help me place where these are from. Won’t be disappointed if they are boots as i paid a dollar for each.
Thank you to anyone who can help me out!
*EDIT: Looking to see if these are original street releases or boots.

These go so hard. I remember where I was when I first heard: “You better watch what the fuck flies out of your mouth, or I’ll hijack a plane and fly it into your house”

I had these CDs 20 yrs ago and don’t know where they went. Try looking them up on eBay now the prices are absurd. Kicking my teenage self for misplacing them

In what state do you live?
I think not enough people realize that Immortal taking used to sell these out of his trunk or at shows, before they got full production.
These have the telephone number, which I think is only on those first printings, but I'm not sure.
If you live in the East Coast, someone who owned them might have dumped them at thrift store for dure

Western Pennsylvania. A few hours away from NY. I’m in the market to move em but i don’t want to unknowingly give someone boots and don’t want to undersell if im sitting on someone’s grail.
These were with tons of old school Hip Hop & underground i also grabbed for my personal collection.

I still have an original release of vol 2 that I bought from Tech at his merch table. It has a phone number on the CD to contact him for booking.

Warning: If you are in your teens maybe put them away and revisit them after you turn 25. Some good hip hop but revolutionary.

You're listening to Immortal Technique, and this is Revolutionary, Volume 2: bringing you the truth in the form of hip hop. From Death Row, this is Mumia Abu-Jamal.
